[Bioc-devel] Error on palomino8

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Oleksii,

Looks like the error is gone today.

Platform dependent segfaults are hard to debug. Even harder when they 
are intermittent. They can be caused by uninitialized variables either 
in the C/C++ code in your package or in one of the libraries you're 
linking to (in your case htslib). The initial content of the 
uninitialized variable is typically platform/compiler dependent.

Is there a way you can use Valgrind to detect possible memory corruption 
problems? Even if these problems are not causing apparent problems on 
Linux or Mac, Valgrind could still detect them on these platforms.

Best,

H.
